    My 1st Knicks game was when Bernard King was on the team.... (and maybe my only Garden game)
    My 1st hockey game was just off the glass for the Rangers.... but fuck them. LGI ;)

    Good for Enes Kanter for sticking with his messaging but I’m absolutely shocked any NBA team would continue to employ him. I’ve always felt activism has no place in sports while players are on the court.

    How is the NBA not actively trying to get this guy off the Celtics? Good big man off the bench but damn. He’s not prime Pau Gasol.

    I might have some sympathy for poor Enes Kanter's plight if he didn't have a history of intentionally injuring players on opposing teams with that undercutting bullshit. Fuck that guy.

    I guess Simmons is probably going to be headed to Portland if the 2 only other real suitors are Spurs and Thunder.

    I still think Jaylen Brown, or Tatum, and Smart for Simmons and Tobias Harris is a great deal for both sides.

    Tatum or Brown is definitely going to be traded within a year. Smart also high probability

    I dislike the Celtics very much but I don’t think Jaylen Brown is a player you should ever trade away.

    he is an emerging superstar. It is hard to find a guy who can score 24 ppg at his position who is also equally committed defensively. Boston would be making a mistake if they trade him and keep Tatum

    I'd also do Tatum and smart for that deal. I'll adjust the post, I agree.

    Didn't even make it to Christmas and I'm done with this Celtics team.

    Their effort is so poor that it makes me not want to watch them. It was bad last year, it's even worse this year. They make zero effort in too many games.

    They are also much more talented and constructed better than last year.. yet they are worse.

    They really need to blow it up and restart. Maybe keep one of brown or Tatum, but get rid of everyone else.

    Haven’t really been following the NBA, but I heard them talking on the radio about trading Harden because he’s fed up with the Nets letting Kyrie only play on the road. Unbelievable. How is anyone going to ever want to bring Kyrie in again after this?

    Wow Harden flipped to Philly for Simmons, Drummond, Curry & draft picks

    Nets are the clear winner in that trade. I've always felt that Simmons was just used wrong in Philly, get him down low and let him work the paint, he would be too quick for NBA bigs and with Kyrie & Durant to kick it out to. Nets just made a great move IMO

    It won’t because NYC is looking to end their mask and vaccine mandate for indoor businesses I believe.

    Nah, finals aren't until June. By then covid will be a forgotten relic of the past.

    Nets might be golfing by June though

    Kyrie the destroyer. Just wait till you see him in the last year of his contract. Net fans will want to drive him to the airport if they don't already.

    Biggest cancer in sports

    Kyrie was burning sage in the locker room in Cleveland to rid the negative energy he had from playing there before :D
